The strike on Latakia allowed to "feel" the fighting efficiency of Russia.

Military analysts suggested that the large-scale strike inflicted by the Israeli Air Force on the Syrian province of Latakia was only a test to test the defense capability of the Russian military group in Syria. Experts believe that the operation was carefully planned by Israel and the US, and its result was a comprehensive analysis of the combat readiness of the Russian military.

"Operation with striking Latakia was a test for Russia. Recall, more recently, Russia has expressed its intention to oppose any attempts by the West and the US to strike at Syrian government forces and even strike a massive blow to the eastern region of Syria, where a large US military base is located. There is no doubt that the United States and Israel have only tested Russia, its readiness and the combat capability of air defense systems ", - the expert Avia.pro believes.

It should be clarified that most of the missiles produced by the Israeli Air Force were not shot down by Russian air defense systems, and when an attempt was made to shoot down one of the Israeli aircraft with the C-400 Triumph system, the missile that was fired did not hit the target.

"In fact, the US debunked the myth of the effectiveness of Russian air defense systems, not to mention the readiness to attack the aircraft of the Western coalition, Israel and the United States even in the face of a threat to Russian military targets, which could lead to much more serious steps by the US", - concluded the expert
